In this case, you can choose to delete the Disk Cache by hitting the “Empty Disk Cache” button, and you can choose to delete the conformed media cache by hitting the “Clean Database & Cache” button. In After Effects, also go to the same dialog box where you set your cache preferences. Here’s the button to clear the media cache in Premiere: Just hit that button, and Premiere Pro will delete all of the cached data that it feels safe to delete.
There you’ll see a button labeled “Clean” that allows you to clean everything out. In Premiere, open the same dialog box where you set your cache preferences. So how do you get rid of all these extra files? Fortunately it’s very easy. Here are the Disk Cache and Conformed Media Cache folder locations in After Effects: To find where your cache folders are set in After Effects, look under Edit>Preferences>Media & Disk Cache. If enabled, the Disk Cache folder is there for previewing rendered frames as you work on your composition, which are constantly being updated as you continue to work, so it’s more in a state of flux than the Conformed Media Cache folder. The folder for the conformed files is most likely set to the same as the Premiere folder (that’s the default setting) but After Effects has another cache folder called “Disk Cache”. The total space taken up on my C drive by all of these files? 180 GIGS! No wonder I’m running low on space!Īfter Effects also has settings for caching. When I looked at mine, I was shocked! I had files in there from years ago that were GIGS in size. You may have to manually type part of the path in, as some machines hide this folder for some reason. The default location on Windows is C:\Users\insert your Windows name here\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common. In Premiere Pro, you’ll find the settings under “Edit>Preferences>Media”. To find the files, you’ll need to check your preferences to see where they’ve been set up to be stored. The problem is that these files are never automatically deleted, and unless you are aware that they exist, you’ll probably never even know to look for them (I didn’t). The point of these files is to greatly improve performance for previews. cfa file, and MPEG files are indexed to a new. The Media Cache Files folder is where Adobe stores conformed audio and video files as you work on various projects. Imported audio files are each conformed to a new. After doing some searching on the hard drive for the largest files Windows could find, I ran across the Media Cache Files folder. I recently noticed that my hard drive was quickly running out of space, despite the fact that I removed a bunch of huge files.
This tip of the week is for users of Adobe’s Premiere and After Effects who are having issues with hard drive space.
